Clint Walker played Cal “Kodiak”
McKay a state trooper stationed in the Alaska
wilderness. Kodiak has an Eskimo
sidekick called Abraham Lincoln Imhook and the pair track down violent
criminals.
This Alaska
adventure show did not last long at all. The pilot was aired in May, 1974 and
did well enough to be picked up for a fall series. However, once the pilot was
aired at it’s regular Friday timeslot it was cancelled immediately. This show
could not compete against the powerhouse Sandford and Son airing on NBC.
The show was filmed in Oregon and actually lasted 4 episodes, which
had already been filmed before the cancellation.
